i am a painter who began my career as a child coloring outside the lines of my coloring books. i am a writer who started out by composing adventure stories while riding my stick horse around the backyard. as a child, i got in trouble for asking too many questions...i question that.
"the emperor's new clothes" by hans christian andersen
this fairy tale has been a companion to me as i have traveled through my life.
briefly, it is about an emperor who was deceived by two tailors who said they were making a set of clothing out of a "dream" fabric. in reality, they used no fabric at all. to make their scam complete, they announced that only those who were wise enough would be able to see the beautiful clothing. and so, no one, not even the emperor, admitted to being unable to see it.
wearing his new "clothing", the emperor paraded through his kingdom. no one questioned his appearance; no one wished to appear less than wise.
until a small child asked, "why is the emperor not wearing any clothes?"
so it is that i ask, if i question rather than believe i am wise, what will i see?

I never watch avatar ....what is it about ?? Reality...is chic :)...is chill:)....is really cool ;0)....
i meant, if i were my own simulated version of me...a software version of me...what would i regard as reality?
hmmmm....software....needs a hardware to work well right ???
so what would the hardware be? reality?
The hardware is the makeup of your brain, and the software is the personility and your attitude towards life ....towards reality :)
there is a description of people who are stubborn as being hardheaded...
maybe thet are just using their heads....
and since software needs updating and debugging...my personality might just benefit from a new version!
Perhaps,when the software meets hardware....reality is being found :)
and one without the other wold be?
